1. At present The Threepenny Review is paying $400 per story or article, $200 per poem or Table Talk piece. In addition, each writer gets a year’s free subscription.

2. All manuscripts should be submitted with a stamped, self-addressed envelope. They should be mailed to:

The Editors
The Threepenny Review
PO Box 9131
Berkeley, CA 94709

3. All articles should be double-spaced (except poetry, which can be single-spaced or double-spaced). Critical articles should be about 1500 to 3000 words, stories and memoirs 4000 words or less, and poetry 100 lines or less. Exceptions are possible.

4. Photocopies and computer-printed copies are acceptable. We will not, however, consider simultaneous submissions (despite erroneous information to the contrary in Writer’s Market), and we do not consider work that has previously been published elsewhere.

5. Critical articles that deal with books, theater, films, etc. should cite these occasions at the front of the article in the following form:

Remember that The Threepenny Review is quarterly and national; therefore each "review" should actually be an essay, broader than the specific event it covers and of interest to people who cannot see the event.

6. Writers will be consulted on all significant editing done on their articles, and will have the opportunity to proofread galleys for typographical errors.

7. Response time for unsolicited manuscripts ranges from three weeks to two months. Please do not submit more than a single story or article, or more than five poems, at any one time.

8. It is recommended that those submitting work for the first time to The Threepenny Review take a look at a sample copy beforehand. (Sample copies are available from the publisher for $12.00.)

9. We do not read manuscripts in the autumn months (September, October, November, December), so please do not submit then.
